After arriving at school, Gu Cheng met Qiancong. The two went through the usual flirting and then came to the classroom, at which time Qiancong made an invitation.

"Will you sign up for basketball in Gucheng's ball skills competition this year?" Qiancong asked casually.

"...I think I'd better forget it. After all, I caused a lot of trouble for everyone in the basketball team back then." Gu Cheng said helplessly.

"...Then can you accompany me to participate in the mixed doubles badminton match?"

"Hey! Does badminton still have mixed doubles?"

"According to Ren and Motoki, this year's singles competition has been cancelled and replaced with mixed doubles."

"I see. But it's also possible to team up with others. For example, Motoki."

"It won't work if it's not you!" Qiancong suddenly shouted, and then her face turned red again. She waved her hands and explained: "Ah, I, I mean that everyone else in the class has their own tasks, and only you are free to participate. If you don't team up with me, I can only participate in the mixed doubles alone, and then be laughed at by everyone as a perennial virgin with a bitch appearance. Can you bear to see me make a fool of myself?" After saying that, Qiancong covered her face and pretended to cry.

Gu Cheng sighed and said, "Since you said that, there is nothing I can do. I understand. I will accompany you, but let me make it clear first. My skills are really not that good. Don't have any expectations of me."

"It doesn't matter. As long as we practice every day from now on, we will be able to do it." Qian Cong said happily, turned around and walked towards her seat. She stopped halfway and turned to Gu Cheng and said, "Gu Cheng!"

"what happened?"

"I love you!" After saying that, Qiancong blew a kiss to Gucheng.

"You, what nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Cheng shouted with a blushing face.

Meanwhile, Lun and Jishu, who were watching from a distance, smiled with a look of success.

In the afternoon, he trained with Asagi who was dressed beautifully. During the break, Kojou went to buy a drink and sat on a bench to rest. There he was attacked by an unidentified person. The other party used a shikigami to attack Kojou. Fortunately, Setsuna arrived in time to destroy the shikigami. A gorgeous invitation letter appeared in the wreckage of the shikigami. The sender was Lord Ordialu from the War King's domain. He invited Kojou to attend the dinner held at the Deep Ocean Tomb tonight.

Later, Gu Cheng learned relevant information from Setsuna. The Territory of Ordiaru is an autonomous territory that constitutes the War King's Domain, and its lord Dimitre Vatra is a direct vampire descendant of the First True Ancestor, the Forgotten War King. What is the other party's intention in inviting Gu Cheng, the Fourth True Ancestor, to attend the banquet?

Finally Gu Cheng decided to go to the banquet, but he encountered a problem.

"It seems to say here that I should bring my partner with me."

"Partner?" Xue Cai came closer to confirm, and for some reason there was a gleam in her eyes.

"So, in Europe and America, parties are generally attended by couples or lovers together."

"…Hey, you suddenly gave me a difficult question. What should single people do?"

"In that case, I would probably ask someone I know to take my place."

"Find someone to replace you... Even if you say so..."

Gu Cheng curled his lips as if he was troubled. Since the condition is to find someone to replace the role of lover, he must find a family member or good friend of similar age, and it must be of the opposite sex -

Setsuna coughed cutely and looked towards the ancient city.

"I don't think there is much choice in finding someone who knows the true identity of the senior and can handle dangerous situations."

"Yes." Gu Cheng looked helpless and lowered his eyes, sighing reluctantly.

"Oh, by the way, isn't there just one person who meets all these conditions?" Gu Cheng suddenly thought.

"That's right. If you ask me, I can be your partner..." Setsuna said shyly.

"Isn't Queen the most suitable candidate?" Gu Cheng shouted excitedly without hearing Xue Cai's whisper.

"What?" Xue Cai asked, staring at Gu Cheng in a daze.

"She happens to know that I'm the fourth true ancestor, and she helped me last time. I asked her to accompany me to the banquet, and I think she would agree. I'll call her now. Damn it, I don't have her contact information. As expected, I should ask for her phone number next time we meet." Gu Cheng was talking to himself, and he didn't notice that Xue Cai's eyes were gradually turning cold.

"Senior, you idiot!" Setsuna's iron fist fell.

"giao!!" (This is not a joke by the author. In the animation, Gu Cheng made this kind of scream when he was hit by Kashizi.)

014. Present Chapter: Sayaka and Kojou's First Encounter 5K

[At around nine o'clock in the evening, Gu Cheng changed into an evening gown and left his room. The clothes he was wearing were sent to his doorstep by the Lion King Agency. Gu Cheng and Xue Cai found the package, which contained a lotus leaf skirt with Xue Cai's body data clearly written on it. Gu Cheng read it out loud, making Xue Cai extremely shy.

After deceiving Nagisa, Furujo reunited with Setsuna, and after praising Setsuna's outfit, the two set off for the Fuyumi no Tomb. On the way, Furujo praised Setsuna's hair accessories and learned from Setsuna that this was a gift from her roommate Kirasaka Sayaka, who was like a sister to her.

After handing over the invitation, the two of them boarded the Deep Ocean Tomb. The bright lights, the luxurious and rich food, and the well-known adults gathered in this venue made Xuecai, who attended this kind of banquet for the first time, a little nervous. At this time, Kojo grabbed her hand.

"Relax, Xuecai, we just need to meet that guy named Watla and find out his purpose. Don't worry about anything else." Gu Cheng comforted.

"I understand, senior. But I didn't expect that you wouldn't be nervous at all when facing this kind of banquet." Setsuna joked.

"Maybe it's because I'm naturally slow. It's been like this since I was a child. No matter what kind of important person I meet, I won't be nervous at all, and I won't be in awe of the other person." Gu Cheng explained.

"That senior is truly amazing," Setsuna praised.

Compared to the somewhat stage-frightened Setsuna, Kojou's reaction after entering the venue was very natural. All those present were big shots on Genkami Island, but he seemed to be strolling around in a supermarket, giving people the feeling that he was a little arrogant.

"It's strange. If senior became like this after becoming the fourth true ancestor, then it would be understandable. But according to him, he has been like this since he was a child. This is really strange." Setsuna thought.

"Come to think of it, there are so many people here, how are we supposed to find Watara?" Gucheng said worriedly.

"Up there, Lord Ordialu is probably on the upper deck outside." Xue Cai paused to think, she looked up, and her psychic vision ability helped her find the other person's location.

"In that case, let's go meet Lord Ordialu." Kojo showed a fearless smile, he took Xuecai's hand and walked towards the stairs on the side.

Xue Cai felt strange again. In the past, when she was with Gu Cheng, he seemed lazy and easy-going. Although he was willing to help others, he didn't like to get involved in trouble. When she faced Teacher Jian, she started investigating him in order to prove the legitimacy of her self-defense.

But the ancient city today is a little different from before. Now he is more like a king. No matter how powerful the enemy is, he is fearless.

"When did senior start to change?...It seems that it started from when he sucked Queen's blood." At this time, a silver light interrupted Yukina's thoughts.

Gu Cheng let go of Xue Cai's hand and jumped back. The fork passed by. If Gu Cheng had reacted slower, the fork would probably have pierced his arm.

The one holding the fork was a young woman. She looked to be about 170cm tall, but she was still a teenage girl. She had long chestnut hair, fair skin, and a charming face. Her slender figure matched the cheongsam-style clothing very well.

"Excuse me. I accidentally slipped."

The long-haired girl said, her attitude showing no intention of reflection. The ancient city from which the fire came stared at her and asked:

"I would like to ask you, what kind of slip of the hand would cause you to swing the fork at someone's arm?"

"It's all because you wanted to touch Setsuna with your hands that showed obscene sexual desire, Akatsuki Kojou."

"What...?!" Gu Cheng was surprised that the girl knew his and Xue Cai's identities.

"Who are you?" Gu Cheng said as he protected Xue Cai behind him unnoticed. If the other party was an enemy, he would immediately open the domain and defeat him with the lion's gold. This was his plan.

But Setsuna's next words put his guard down.

"——Sayaka! Why are you here?" Setsuna asked in surprise.

Instantly, the girl named Sayaka showed a drastic change. Like a hard bud blooming, a gorgeous smile spread across her face, and the murderous aura that originally emanated from her body also turned into an aura full of tenderness and love.

"Setsuna!" The long-haired girl hugged Setsuna tightly, and they looked like harmonious sisters who had miraculously reunited. Her hair tied into a ponytail looked like a puppy's tail wagging happily.

"Long time no see, Xuecai, how are you doing?"

"Okay... okay." Xuecai responded. She was more surprised than surprised to suddenly meet her roommate again.

“Ah, Setsuna, Setsuna, Setsuna…! When I was away, the task of monitoring the Fourth True Ancestor was pushed onto you. You’re so pitiful! How could the Lion King Organization’s executive department torture my Setsuna like this!”

"That...that...Sayaka...?"

"But it doesn't matter anymore. If this pervert dares to touch you, I will kill him immediately. Whether it is in terms of life activities or social status -"

"Uh...Sa...Saayaka...that's really too much...don't do it."

"Hey."

Kojou slashed at Sayaka's back of the head, which was full of flaws as she clung to Setsuna. Sayaka cried out in pain, "Ah!" and took a few steps back in fear.

Finally freed from Sayaka's arms, Setsuna quickly hid behind Kojou.]

[Herrser of Thunder]: "This scene feels very familiar."

[Favorite Houmu]: "It seems that Meiyi and Paramecium usually get along like this."

[Lightning Herrer]: “…”

[Knights Maid]: "Sayaka, who was so brave and perfect in the future, is like this now?"

In Mondstadt, Noel looked at the light screen with some disbelief. The future Sayaka has great strength. Facing powerful and invincible enemies, she is still willing to take on the burden of protecting humanity. It can be said that she has become Noel's idol. Noel decided to become a brave warrior like Sayaka to protect Mondstadt. But now, after seeing Sayaka's actions towards Setsuna, Noel felt that the tall image of her in his heart collapsed.

[Dandelion Knight]: "...I can only say that everyone has their own hobbies."

[Spark Knight]: "Yes, just like the last time I saw Captain Jean secretly reading a romance novel."

[Dandelion Knight]: "Klee!"

【乐不思坎】: "(laughing)"

[Flying Champion of Mondstadt]: "(Laughing)"

[Rose Witch]: "Qin is really cute."

【Master Lu】: “…”

[“This Sayaka is the roommate you mentioned before, right?” Kojou quietly asked Setsuna.

"Well, yes. How should I put it? Sayaka is not a bad person. It's just that when she was a child, she was frightened and abused by her father because of her awakening of spiritual power, so she suffers from male phobia. She also dotes on me too much." Setsuna explained.

"Okay, I understand, leave it to me." Gu Cheng nodded, and he turned his head to look at Sayaka who was looking at him with hostility.

"What are you doing! Take your erotic eyes away from me, you perverted True Ancestor!" Sayaka yelled.

"Sayaka? I heard about you from Setsuna. She told me that you have always been taking care of her and you are like a real sister to her." Gu Cheng eliminated Sayaka's hostility towards him with just one sentence.

Sayaka's face turned red in an instant, and she stammered, "Xue, Xuecai, did that kid really say that about me?"

"Yes! That's right, Xue Cai told me that herself." Gu Cheng nodded vigorously in affirmation.

"Senior, what are you talking about?" Setsuna complained with a red face behind Kojou. Although she did say this, she was too shy to say it in front of Sayaka.

"Wow!!" Sayaka let out a cute cry. She covered her heart and took a few steps back. Her steps were floating as if she was going to fall down at the next moment.

Gu Cheng rushed over, hugged Sayaka who was about to fall, and said, "Hey, are you okay? I understand how you feel. It is really nice to be praised by a serious and cute child like Yukina, but you have to pay attention to your image. If you fall here, it will be troublesome for us."

"Let me go." Sayaka struggled in Gu Cheng's arms. She herself did not realize that her hostility towards Gu Cheng seemed to have eased a lot.

Gu Cheng let go of the struggling Sayaka, and Sayaka flew away from Gu Cheng quickly. She gasped and said, "Xiao Gu Cheng, you, don't think that I will forgive you just because you relayed what Setsuka said. It's because of you that Setsuka left me and fell into all kinds of dangers. I will never let you go!"

"Um...how should I put it? I'm sorry for putting Setsuna in danger." Kojou scratched his head and apologized. He added, "But Setsuna is not a tool for you to rely on emotionally. What kind of life she wants to live should be decided by herself."

"You, what nonsense are you talking about? I, I didn't treat Setsuna as..." Sayaka defended, but when facing Setsuna behind Kojou, she could not deny that she had once treated her as an emotional support.

"I heard from Setsuna that you were abused by your family when you were a child. In the Takami Forest, you treated Setsuna like a sister. In fact, you were making up for the regret of not having family. Of course, Setsuna likes you very much. But Setsuna is grown up now, and you have no right to interfere in her life. She should decide what to do, and I will never allow anyone to trample on Setsuna's will!" Gu Cheng said seriously to Sayaka.

After hearing what Gu Cheng said, Sayaka was speechless. At this time, Xue Cai stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, Sayaka. I like this island very much, and I like the time I spend with senior. I want to stay here, so I don't plan to go back to Gao Shen Forest."

"Woo" Sayaka was extremely disappointed, but she looked at Xue Cai and nodded: "I understand, Xue Cai, if this is your decision, then I will definitely support you."

Then she turned her head and said to Gu Cheng viciously: "And you, the Fourth True Ancestor, remember, I am doing this for Setsuna, and I am not persuaded by you. If you dare to have any ill intentions towards Setsuna, I will definitely destroy you completely in the most cruel way!" After saying that, she glared at Gu Cheng fiercely again.

Gu Cheng suddenly felt guilty. He had sucked Xue Cai's blood before, which was obviously an ill intention no matter how you looked at it.

"Um, Sayaka, why are you here?" Setsuna hurried forward to cover for Gu Cheng.

"Same as you, Setsuna. I took on the job of monitoring vampires. My mission is to monitor Lord Ordialu and prevent the citizens of Gengami City from being exposed to danger. Now I've been entrusted by him to come here to lead the way for you." Sayaka explained to Setsuna gently.

After hearing what Sayaka said, both Kojou and Setsuna understood that the person who sent the shikigami to attack Kojou during the day must be Sayaka. The reason was just as she said before, Kojou was the vampire who put Setsuna in danger, so Sayaka wanted to get rid of Kojou. Thinking of this, Kojou was more determined not to let Sayaka know that he had sucked Setsuna's blood.

Under the guidance of Sayaka, Gu Cheng came to the deck, where a man in a white suit and golden hair stood with the night sky as the background. He looked at Gu Cheng with blue eyes, and the next moment, a white light pierced Gu Cheng.

The true identity of Bai Guang was a giant snake with flames burning on its body. It was moving extremely fast, so fast that Xue Cai and Sayaka had no time to react, but Gu Cheng did react. Ever since he sucked Queen's blood last time and awakened the power of the Demon King, Gu Cheng felt that his physical strength was gradually increasing, so he reacted.

"Lion's Gold"

A lion with white electric light flashing on its body appeared in front of Gu Cheng and collided with the fire snake. The next moment, the attacks of the two canceled each other out.

"Senior!" Setsuna drew out the Xuexia Wolf and came to Gucheng. Sayaka also took out her Huanghualin to protect Setsuna.

Watla clapped his hands and praised, "Beautiful! Facing the attack, you reacted immediately and even controlled the power of your familiar, only offsetting my attack without causing any damage to the surrounding area. Your performance just now was perfect."

Gucheng did not relax his vigilance because of the other party's admiration. He stared at Watara to prevent the other party from launching another attack.

However, Wattla's next move was beyond everyone's expectations. He knelt on one knee in front of the ancient city and respectfully performed the etiquette of a noble.

"I have just tested your majesty and offended you. I sincerely apologize. My name is Dimitri Vatra, and I was granted the title of Duke of Ordialu by our true ancestor, the 'Forgotten War King'. I am honored to welcome you tonight—"

His speech was so beautiful that it threw Gu Cheng into disarray.

Setsuna and Sayaka, who were holding the silver spear, were both stunned and stood there.

"Are you Dimitri Vatra...? The messenger who brought me here?" Gu Cheng asked hoarsely.

Watra looked up with a smile, feeling happy. It was a smile that was both friendly and cunning.

"Let me say 'Nice to meet you' first, Akatsuki Kojou. No, 'Flame Night Master' - my beloved Fourth True Ancestor!"

Watara said this while gazing at the ancient city with admiration, then opened his arms as if to welcome the ancient city into his arms.
